"Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year? "The movie RENT hits theaters in November, and the trailer is available along with other cool stuff at the movie website.

I am SO not a musical hound. However, there are a few musicals that I adore, and RENT is one of them. The soundtrack has amazing power for giving me hope, aspiration, and awe. I don't know what it is. But I sing those songs with wild abandon. (And I don't have much of a singing voice.) Sounds like a lot of the original Broadway cast is in the movie, and no matter what, I'm going to see it in a theater with really good sound just so I can hear that music LOUD. Oh, I just know I'm going to cry like a baby during that one. It's good! Get yourself over to the movie website and hear some of the music for free...this is one of my favorites...

In daylights -- In sunsetsIn midnights -- In cups of coffeeIn inches -- In milesIn laughter -- In strife
